So now i'm in Toronto, with my wonderful soul sister Lynne .... and this is my view - her lovely cat is sitting on the table as i browse etc.

Well what a morning we had!   Left Susan's place around 7.45 am....took 4 adults to transport luggage and 2 year old Own into car, early in the morning.  none of us were in particularly wakeful states....but we said our tearful goodbyes and Morgan and I drove on to the Toronto airport.   She dropped me off at what we thought was the correct terminal....such a confusing place.....me, with Owen in his stroller, while she returned the rental car!   I headed into the airport to find the Westjet area....after walking the length of the terminal twice i couldn't find it.   Finally asked for directions....i needed to get to terminal 3!   so an elevator ride, a long tunnel, a ride of a very fast train (which Owen loved!), then 2 more elevator rides and a lot of walking...we finally found the right spot!   Then onto getting all her bags etc. checked in....finally, after about 2 hours we were able to sit down and have a bite to eat...and it was only 10 am!!!!  

Lynne's lovely husband Ivor, picked me up and we drove to their home.   A little bit of catch up then i thought i'd just lay down for 1/2 hour.....2 hours later i surfaced....boy seems like  i was in great need of some sleep!

Now, with a gin and tonic - Lynne having a wee nap, Ivor practising on his new piece of guitar equipment....fabulous sounds emanating from the basement.....i'm feeling calmer.

It was such an amazing trip in Hamilton, with my daughter and grandson, but wow, not much down time for me....which was just fine, i knew it would be like this and i did just fine.   Saying goodbye to them was of course teary.....she is now home in Vancouver, after 3 weeks of solo parenting a 2 year old.....she is ready for some space :)

I hear we have Thai food for dinner....oh the joys of city living :)
